The Whatmans
REVIEW APRIL 2010 The Whatmans, whose set, supported by a fine turnout of fans and new converts on the night alike, was one of those goosebump moments that comes along very seldom in this pop life. Opening their short set with the slow-burning and epic Soldier, and closing with upcoming single, Devil Shoes, they showed themselves to be possibly the best unsigned act in the country. Soldier was an unlikely opener, but it came across as U2’s Moment Of Surrender without the pretension, filled with equal bombast and driving energy. Tracks like Follow Me, Guns of Dublin and This One’s For The Music have an immediate and solid connection with their audience, and if their debut album, slated for November release, can capture their powerful live act, they are destined for a major label deal and all that comes thereafter. The Whatmans’ uncanny knack with the anthemic twist, and a canny pop sensibility, they showed potential beyond their environment They are one to watch, and if they continue to gig and develop their already confident and accomplished presence, the sky is the limit. Watch them take off… The Whatmans will play the Backroom on Friday 11th June. Support from Storybooks For Small Dogs & Geriko. Gig doors open 9:30pm, Tickets €7, Navan. Over 18's Gig, Id Required.
